How to make an emergency call to FD and all FA stations?

• A. Press EMER, then 1
• B. Tap EMER briefly
• C. Shout 'emergency' loudly
• D. Press and hold EMER until call activates

Answer: (D)

Activating an emergency call must be a deliberate action to prevent false alarms. The EMER control is designed so you press and hold it until the system activates, which broadcasts the alert to the Fire Department and all Flight Attendant stations across the aircraft’s interphone/PA network. A quick tap or brief touch often won’t engage the signal, and shouting isn’t a formal method that routes the call through the aircraft’s alerting system. Holding the EMER control until it activates ensures the alert is recognized as legitimate and reaches the intended recipients immediately, with the proper indication that an emergency is in progress.
